Partly because it's a neat comic, partly because I wanted to check the slide tag's handling of PNGs.

So, uh, Pixy, can I ask you a question?
Why the hell do we at Ace O Spades have New Comment Thingy?
Because whatever value it had in slowing the spam flood is TOTALLY GONE. Spambots aren't even bothering to wait until the next day before attaching their shit to posts.
There are a billion suggestions I could offer in killing this scourge, but the underlying question is: are you even planning to fight it?

Yes.
The reason Ace has New Comments Thingy is because Movable Type was taking over a minute to post a single comment. And it was even worse at stopping spam.
We'll be moving Ace to a new blogging system very soon - we've been testing it on a copy of his blog for a little while now, and we're just putting in a few more tweaks before switching over. I was aiming to have it ready last weekend, but had to put it off until next weekend. But it's very close.

Oh, and when we move, we'll be doing a bulk filter of all the comments, so almost all of the old spam will disappear. The new filtering system isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.
